Driveways in Levittown, NY

Levittown is the iconic planned community that defined American suburban development — built between 1947 and 1951 by Levitt & Sons on former potato farmland in the Town of Hempstead. The community's 17,000+ homes were built rapidly on standard lots with driveways designed for single-car families. After 75 years, these driveways have been through more freeze-thaw cycles than their builders ever imagined. Many have been patched, overlaid, and extended piecemeal — creating uneven, poorly-draining surfaces that are well past salvageable.

Brothers Paving has deep experience in Levittown because the hamlet represents one of the largest concentrations of aging driveways in Nassau County. We understand the standard Levittown lot layout — the typical setback, the common curb-cut positions, and the grading patterns that Levitt's crews used 75 years ago. This knowledge lets us work efficiently and avoid the surprises that catch contractors who are unfamiliar with Levittown's construction patterns.

Levittown sits on flat glacial outwash terrain with sandy soils that generally drain well at the surface. However, decades of development, fill, and compaction have altered soil conditions on many lots. Brothers Paving tests subgrade on every Levittown property and installs a minimum 8-inch compacted aggregate base, adjusting depth where we encounter fill, compacted silt, or other non-native material beneath the old driveway.

Levittown property values have strengthened significantly as buyers recognize the community's central location, strong schools, and renovation potential. A new driveway is one of the fastest curb appeal upgrades you can make — and in a community of 17,000 homes with similarly aged driveways, a fresh, professionally installed surface stands out immediately. Brothers Paving helps Levittown homeowners upgrade from 1950s construction to 2020s quality.
